  • Publication number: 20260245003
    Abstract: A control system for conducting machine operations is disclosed. The control system is configured to capture a first task performed by a machine from a first given point in time to a second given point in time at a worksite. The first task includes a first set of machine operations performed by the machine in a first sequence for respective first time durations. The captured first task is reproducible by the machine, on-demand, at the worksite based on worksite condition(s) of the worksite and/or operating parameter(s) of the machine via a first input means. The control system is also configured to determine the worksite condition(s) and/or the operating parameter(s) to reproduce the first task, on-demand based on input(s) from monitoring device(s).

  • Publication number: 20160040372
    Abstract: A method of removing a cutting chamber from a cold planer is disclosed. The method initiates with disconnecting the cutting chamber from a frame of the cold planer. Thereafter, the frame of the cold planer is raised to a height above the cutting chamber. After raising, the cold planer is maneuvered to a second location. More specifically, the cold planer is maneuvered in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel so that the cutting chamber is no longer under the cold planer.
